Michael Richards: the Assman.

What the hell?

sounded fine to me. what is the shit storm about?

The shit storm happened when, due to all the heckling, Richards' set ran late, and ended up bumping Prussian Blue from the bill.

FYI...Seinfeld on Letterman tonight. Wonder what they'll talk about.

I saw the clip on CNN. Seems like he was throwing the N word around to be shocking . . . but, damn, he wasn't the least bit funny. And when he started getting heckled, he merely cussed out the heckler. What comedian can't deftly handle a heckler? Pathetic.

Bumping Prussian Blue...... LOL. Think he will face charges? He probably should.

In other celeb news today, more pictures of Lindsay Lohan's shaved mole rate (on dlisted). Jellio, would you say Michael Richards is more or less offensive that the naked mole rate pictures?

Clickety...depends who you ask. Like Doug commented previously, I think he was just trying to be outrageous, using the most taboo subject he could think of. but he failed miserably. Apparently, according to people who know him, he's not racist at all.

It appears to me that there was no conscious strategy guiding his behavior that night. To suggest that it was botched "Kerryesq" is a bit of a stretch.

Dude, I'm curious. Is it harder to breathe way up there on that soapbox?

As a US Air Force veteran, honorable law-abiding United States citizen, taxpayer, father, and black man I do not in any way, shape, or form find racism tolerable, or acceptable.
